Evaporating Cloud
Purposedifferent
For decisions with follow-on paths and dependencies, a linear comparison is often not enough. A Decision Tree shows how options branch under conditions and which consequences hang on each branch.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.
